As per an official notification released on the CBSE website, the board has confirmed that the AISSE and AISSCE exams for classes 10th and 12th will be held in the month of March in 2018. The date sheet for both the exams are expected to be released in the second week of January, 2018.

The Board had, earlier this year, proposed to hold the examinations earlier than normal to ensure that the answer sheets are corrected in timely and qualitative manner.

There are still reports that suggest that CBSE plans to wrap up exams in a month to ensure qualitative evaluation of answer sheets. Currently boards for classes 10 and 12 start in the month of March and continue well into April.
